Topo of unknown double lieback.

Description 

This is a route on the N face (containing at least 5 routes) of Triangle Rock. It may be considered a variation to Bucket Brigade; however, the climbing is distinct except for a rest before the traverse to the 'bucket' of Bucket Brigade. It forms a skinny X with Bucket Brigade on a topo. Although it can be led, a TR might prove more palatable, due to the start & tree at midheight. Not a destination climb but worth a run if you are already at Triangle Rock.

Approach this as for the E side of Twin Owls & [Gollum's] Arch. Approach as for Gollum's Arch, head down a gully, then traverse to the crag. This rock lies E of Twin Owls & is down & E of Gollum's Arch. Expect a bit of bush.

This line is the 2nd dihedral from the left. It starts in a nook with pinching, jamming, and liebacking. There are a couple small cam placements to start. An efficient climber may find stems & jams at the first obvious lieback stretch, where the less-mentally-nimble, like meself, will power into a slightly sketchy lieback. Gain a good rest 3/4 up. Here, fire another lieback to the top. (Beta, L foot at the good hold works better.) 60 ft.

You can walkoff down the S face and exit E.

Any help with the real name?

Protection 

Mostly cams. Perhaps better for a TR.
